Thank you for the virtual vacation. I sub to a streaming service but never know when the scenery is coming! Just fabulous!

I rode the final 21 km on RGT Cycling.... now I need to try it on FulGaz. Alas, the year I was at Lake Como in October there had already been snow and freezing temperatures on the Stelvio, so I've not had a chance to ride it in reality.

The giro is way harder than the tdf, its a victory just to finish the giro imo, am i wrong? I found the stelvio much easier than last time and im over 110kg .im SO glad i did it last year as part of my triple stelvio_gavia_mortirolo ride, it was epic,the gavia was a "private" road .awesome dosnt even begin to describe it. I hope there is a vaccine so we can all return to il miaesta! The stelvio.

I wanted to go there this year . And then covid came .... 🙄

I'm 70 and in September I drove the Stelvio from Prad again. Unfortunately, there were far too many motorcycles and cars on the road that showed little consideration for cyclists. But I was happy that I could still get up there on a racing bike at my age. At the top I also ate a Salsiccia (Sausage)

Grazie mille for this taste of what is to come for the Giro today. How was your sausage? 😎

When I first saw the small thumbnail on my phone I thought he had is tongue stuck frozen on a metal pole.

Che spettacolo!! Con tutti quei tornanti, meraviglia dell'Italia. Una Montagna che ha fatto la storia del ciclismo.🔝🥰🤩😍😎✌🏻🔝

Ride the Colle Agnello from Casteldelfino. Same height as Stelvio but much much harder. Last 10 k are at 10 %.

Great memories from my ride up the same side many years back(probably 1991?). The altitude definitely makes your legs heavy near the top. Stunning road with all the hairpins. A must for any fan of cycling climbs.

did you get the reindeer sausage?

Rode up from Bormio back in 2011. 1st week in October, +17. The cycling gods were with us that day. Epic climb, must come back and go up the 48 switchback side.
